Havok Navigation

for Unreal

Havok Navigation for Unreal supports characters navigating in both 2D and 3D environments. Our navigation meshes are watertight and boundary-aligned, providing seamless pathfinding for characters of varying widths on a single mesh. Voxel-based navigation volumes enable swimming and flying characters, enhancing the versatility of your game world.

Adapt to dynamic environments with ease using silhouette cutting to modify the nav mesh at runtime, representing dynamic obstacles. You can paint using silhouettes to apply changes that influence character paths, such as increasing traversal costs for dirt faces that turn to mud when it rains. Navigation meshes can also be linked to dynamic actors, simulating moving platforms and creating a more interactive experience.

Save valuable development time with automatic generation of character-specific traversal links. Effortlessly mark your nav mesh with jump, duck, vault, climb up, drop down, balcony vault, and custom traversals for each character type. This feature streamlines the creation process and ensures your characters can navigate complex environments effortlessly.

Experience fast and dynamic pathfinding with A* based queries that support thousands of navigating NPCs simultaneously. Edge filtering and face weighting give you control to influence individual character paths at runtime. Cluster graphs represent the navigable world at a higher level, allowing pathfinding to tiles not yet streamed into the game world, ensuring smooth and efficient navigation throughout your game.
